It doesn't have to be entirely vegetarian, just have some vegetarian choice for my friends.

I don't find it bad, really - just pretty average. It's on Baldwin just a bit west of McCaul. And there are plenty of other restaurants along that strip that have decent veggie options.

Free Times Cafe has great veggie and meat options - 320 College, west of Spadina. Bonus is that it's very affordable. http://freetimescafe.com/home.html I also really enjoy Fresh by Juice for Life, but you are probably looking for something closer. Just in case... 147 Spadina Avenue, just south of Queen. http://www.juiceforlife.com The Toronto Vegetarian Association has an online directory that I've found to be useful: http://veg.ca/directory/toronto.html Fri Feb 09 22:28:53 -0800 2007 2276936 20067 lower_colon 2 2278644 I would suggest Kensington Kitchen on Harbord- good veggie options. Not super close, but fairly close. Sat Feb 10 04:57:51 -0800 2007 2278427 29709 alltummy 1 2279791 a little south west (definitly walking distance)...go to Baldwin. They have Indian and Thai restaurants that are sure to have veggie options for you. Sat Feb 10 14:05:23 -0800 2007 2276936 20735 mtampoya 1 2280525 About a 15 minute walk north to Spadina and Bloor is Fresh. The smoothies, soups, salads all are fantastic. My personally favourite smoothie is the Liver Cleanse. My fiance is not a veg and he still loves all the fresh (not meant as a joke) flavours. Also if heading that direction, Thai Basil is great however they use the fish sauce. Enjoy the talk.

May get to see Margaret Atwood there though, saw her there twice at lunch and I have only gone a handful of times cuz not too impressed. Sat Feb 10 19:24:24 -0800 2007 2276936 73471 grapeseedoil
